131I-labelled metaiodobenzylguanidine ([131I]MIBG) is used both for diagnostic scintigraphy and for radionuclide therapy of neural crest derived tumours in particular neuroblastoma, malignant phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma. This paper presents data on radiochemical stability during the infusion of 3.8, 5.7 and 7.7 GBq [131I]MIBG in 100 ml infusion fluids for therapy. The period of investigation started at the moment of dilution of the thawed infusion concentrates (t = 0), which arrived in a frozen condition from the manufacturer, and ended at the termination of infusion (t = 7 h). In 7 h the percentage of free [131I]iodide increased from 3.74 to 5.82, from 3.52 to 6.02 and from 3.72 to 6.40% in the 3.8, 5.7 and 7.7 GBq [131I]MIBG infusion fluids, respectively. The 0-7 h increases of the different radioactive concentrations did not differ significantly. All the infusion fluids contained less than 7% free [131I]iodide at the end of infusion (t = 7 h).

Summary: Vitamin D is commonly recommended for daily intake as dietary sources are often insufficient. However, prolonged high-dose use can lead to serious complications. We present a rare case of a 2-month-old infant who developed severe hypercalcemia and hypertriglyceridemia due to an accidental overdose of 25-OH vitamin D, leading to hypertriglyceridemia and pancreatitis.

Optimal fluid strategy for laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) remains unclear. LDN has been a domain for liberal fluid management to ensure graft perfusion, but this can result in adverse outcomes due to fluid overload. We compared postoperative outcome of living kidney donors according to the intraoperative fluid management.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy caused by clonally expanded plasma cells that produce a monoclonal immunoglobulin (M-protein), a personalized biomarker. Recently, we developed an ultra-sensitive mass spectrometry method to quantify minimal residual disease (MS-MRD) by targeting unique M-protein peptides. Therapeutic antibodies (t-Abs), key in MM treatment, often lead to deep and long-lasting responses.
